International Criminal Law
What is International Criminal Law?
International criminal law is a specialized branch within international law that deals specifically with prosecuting individuals for serious offenses that have international implications. These offenses include genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression. This field seeks to hold individuals accountable for actions that threaten peace and security on a global scale, often through institutions like the International Criminal Court. While international law addresses state-level interactions, international criminal law zeroes in on individual accountability for grave breaches of international norms.
What is the Difference to ➡️ International Law?
International law, on the other hand, is an umbrella term that covers various legal frameworks governing the interactions and conduct of states and international entities. It includes broad areas like treaties, diplomatic relations, and global trade. Its primary focus is on maintaining order and cooperation among nations.
